Q. 101. How is Originall sinne called in Scripture?

A. First, because this only is hereditary, its called absolutely sinne, Rom. 5. 12. Secondly, because it can never be gotten quite out in this life, it is called the sinne that dwelleth in us, Romans. 7. 17. Thirdly, because of its wonder∣full fast hold it hath gotten of our natures, it is called the sinne that hangs so fast on, or that so easily besets us, Heb. 12. 1. Fourthly, because it hath enthralled the whole man, and every fa∣culty and members, it is called a law in our members, Romans. 7. 23. Fiftly, because of its antiquity and maturity, and experienc∣ed subtilty, it is called, the old man, Romans. 6. 6. Sixtly, because it is ever hatching and conceiving of evill, and though a man have never so much grace, yet it is ever

lusting against it, it is called lust, Iam. 1. 14. which will not let the godliest man under heaven doe that good that he would, Gal. 5. 17. Seventh∣ly, because it is directly opposite to the spirit, and all the graces of the spirit; it is called the flesh, Eph. 2. 3. and the uncircumcision of the flesh, Col. 2. 13. and because a carnall man loves it as deare as he do's his heart blood, it is called blood too, 1 Cor. 15. 50, &c.
